- George Washington Carver

"If you love it enough, anything will talk with you."

- George Washington Carver

"All flowers talk to me and so do hundreds of little living things in the woods. I learn what I know by watching and loving everything."

"If you listen carefully enough to anything, it will talk to you."

- George Washington Carver
